Set in early twentieth-century Kiev, this National Book Award-winning novel follows Yakov Bok, a Jewish handyman who is unjustly accused of the ritual murder of a young boy. As he languishes in prison awaiting trial, Malamud explores the profound psychological and existential toll of systemic antisemitism and the struggle to maintain personal integrity against a corrupt state apparatus.
